Benson teen remains in critical condition following Missouri crash

A Benson teen remained in critical condition Thursday after a two-vehicle crash that killed four other people.

Donny Schroeder, 14, was the lone survivor after a dump truck struck the family's Ford F250 on a highway bridge in central Missouri. He was transported by helicopter to the University of Missouri Hospital in Columbia, Mo., where he remained Thursday.

The crash occurred at 7:40 a.m. Wednesday when the Schroeder family was south bound on North Missouri Highway 5, according to a traffic report. A northbound dump truck lost control after the front right tire went flat and crossed into the southbound lane, striking the pickup.

Terry Schroeder, 50, Cindy Schroeder, 46, and Dylan Schroeder, 14, all of Benson were pronounced dead at the scene, as was Randal D. Estes, 56, of Warsaw, Mo., who was the driver and lone occupant of the dump truck.
